Respectful students show quality of district's education

I wanted to take the opportunity to praise students who attended the After Prom the other night. As a parent of six children, as well as an elementary teacher within the district, I have seen my share of both good and bad etiquette. I have nothing but great things to say about the behavior and conduct shown by our high school students during the four hours that I helped with the late-night activities. Each and every student I came into contact with was respectful, courteous and upbeat in their conversation, as well as their actions.

As I took the opportunity to observe the groups of students mingling with each other. I was impressed with the courtesy shown to each other - no pushing and shoving, no rude words, no swearing, but simply good fun and banter. How grateful I am as a parent for those teachers, parents and administrators that made this night memorable for my children. Additionally, how very proud I am of the way our students conducted themselves at such an event.

Let's continue to give them the best that we have - they deserve nothing less.
